0.33l, bb 19 04 12. Turbulent and hazy, dark orange-brown with a huge creamy head leaving nice frosting. Spicy biscuit, caramel, rum and cola aroma. Big, delicious flavors of dry-spiced raisin rum cake with brown sugar-caramel icing are tempered nicely by some dry, bitterish hops and yeast. Nearly medium body, with a lot of tingle. Only complaint about this beer is that it literally fizzles apart and explodes with CO2!

From a bottle, poured a very deep, almost opaque brown-chestnut body. Bold, thick off-white head with great lacing. Sweet medicinal candied nose. Rich, syrupy mouth feel. Rich and gritty. Not my bag, but it could be because I had cellared it over a year.

Bottle. Pours a thick hazy brown color with a tan head. The beer has a very caramel and dark fruit aroma, heavy on the malts. The flavor is caramel, fruit, and something I just can’t put my finger on. The alcohol is noticeable. This beer is one of the more complex that I’ve had in recent months.

Garrafa, em Utrecht (HOL), em novembro de 2007. Coloração preta turva, com creme bege consistente e persistente. Carbonatação alta. Notas de torrefação e frutas vermelhas. Levemente amarga e seca. Não é tão bem balanceada.

33cl bottle - pours very hazy, dark brown with a big light tan head. Creamy. Aroma of lots of dark fruit, caramel, malts, lots of yeast, typical of this line of beers. Flavour is full of wheat and sweet fruit, including cherries and apple, caramel again, with a light sour tart quality in the finish. Fantastic.

Pours opaque brown-amber with thick creamy head. Nutty aroma with notes of dark fruit, yeast, and caramel. Flavor is slightly sweet, notes of dark fruit, yeast, port, caramel, coffee, and apple predominate, with a floral finish. Palate is smooth and slightly dry. Outstanding brew.

Bottle. Reddish/amber colour with large creamy off-white mostly lasting head. Fruity aroma with notes of caramel and yeast. Sweet flavor with light bitterness. Oily palate.
